RE: Health is not a game, but a matter of life and death...#2

After I sent this email I read this...

" Most adults who have sudden cardiac arrest - it's their first symptom -

some people don't even have chest pain, " Saxon said.

An adverse response to prescription drugs or illicit use of drugs can also

cause arrhythmias leading to cardiac arrest.

Brian Oxman, Jackson's spokesperson and longtime family, hinted that the

singer may have had trouble with prescription drugs.

" This was something which I feared and something which I warned about, "

Oxman told CNN. " I can tell you for sure that this is something I warned

about. Where there is smoke there is fire. "

Oxman told CNN that the singer was taking drugs to deal with past injuries,

such as a broken back and broken leg, which were getting in the way of his

concert rehearsals.

Jackson was slated to kick-off a 50 concert tour starting in London July

13th.

An autopsy on Jackson will likely take place Friday.

Health is not a game, but a matter of life and

death...

What is in the subject line is what I state often, but on days like today it

seems to have more impact...

After the special on Farrah Fawcett aired back on 5/16 I sent an email to

this group on 5/19. After a few weeks of her surviving I had hoped that

maybe someone had " gotten to her " with health info that was benefiting her,

maybe they did and that is why she lived for over a month. I will resend

the original email.

Often times when I speak with people regarding health they say something to

the extent of, " well, after I have a heart attack I will do something. " To

which I respond with, " stats show that 40% of people that have heart attacks

don't get a second chance. They die as a result. What if you are one of

that 40%? "

Considering how unhealthy Michael Jackson seemed to be I guess it is amazing

he lived until the age of 50...
